If you partially cook the apples before you put them in the crust that should help alleviate the problem. I love this recipe https://www.barbarabakes.com/2009/12/apple-cranberry-streusel-pie-sweet/ adapted from a Cook’s Illustrated recipe. Great question.

How do you keep the pie crust from caving in on a apple pie as it bakes. Starts out great, nice and high, then gives in. Thanks

In reply to Barbara. Grating butter is a GREAT tip! Not only for pie crusts, but for making flaky layered biscuits... :)

I used this recipe a couple of weeks ago and it turned out perfect! It was one of my first times making pie crust and I absolutely loved it! I used some of it to make individual pies in jars. Thanks for the great tutorial!

In reply to Libby. I enjoyed watching the video. I liked her tip about adding a little sugar to aid in browning. It would be fun to do a side by side comparison to see if the crust is flakier when rolled out using my method or this traditional method. Thanks for sharing.

I was just perusing my own blog which I’m reworking and came across this youtube video which I posted. I demonstrates the “turning” on the surface which I talked about. I do it more often than she does in the video, but still the video comes pretty close to my methods. Here’s the clip

Great tutorial! I’ve always used the shortening pie crust recipe from an old Betty Crocker cookbook, and the one time I tried all butter, it tasted good but was not flaky. I like your idea of part butter and will have to give it a try. I’ve never chilled my shortening, but it will be interesting to see if I notice a diff when I do. Making pie crust since 1970, but I’m finding I’m never too old to learn. 😉
